Please right click and "save target as" for all movies. (For the computer illiterate: with PCs, this means put your mouse over the title of the movie, and clicking the right button on the mouse. When you see the option "save target as", select it. This puts the movie on your hard drive at home for multiple views, which saves us a lot of bandwidth and allows us to put more movies up!)

Partner Drills - almost 2 minutes / 14 MB

This is some 1994 video from when Baldar and Gaston tried to put together a high quality video the second time (the first was in '93). The drills have continued to evolve since this video. The "basic speed drill" was Baldar's original partner drill that Baldar taught his first squires. We rarely do it anymore favoring the advanced tentblock drill or the double moulinet drill. The advanced (basically just newer) version has a different return. This will do till we record some better video....

 

Basic Sword Drills - 6 minutes / 26 MB
